MultiEdit should be available everywhere!

I often end up with a screen with a list of tasks which exactly matches a list which I want to do something with. It would be nice to be able to click "MultiEdit" and directly do whatever I wanted to do with this entire list. Currently, even if I have EXACTLY the list of tasks on the screen which I want to multiedit, I cannot do so, but have to set up a search which matches what is on the screen! How silly is that?

For example, when I am viewing a folder of tasks, I would like "MultiEdit" available for that folder of tasks.

[My guess is that a solution to this would be to prefill a search linked to multiedit with a search based on, for example, whatever the current folder or view is]
